Planetary History
Early History
The inhabitants of Halloran V developed two major industries that continued into the thirty-second century; the export of ice and copper. The export of ice eventually slowed when planetary officials listened to advice that recommended slowing the export in face of the very real risk that the supply of icebergs was likely to be exhausted inside a century, something that would've precipitated a major ecological crisis. Seventy percent of the planetary population would come to live on Chimera, and both the planetary capital city, Gethin, and the largest single city on the planet, Vanders, were located in the Shobol River valley on that continent. Tonka Li and Tonka Lu were never subject to high levels of development because of the active volcanoes there, whilst Newfoundland and Sunderland provided the copper exported by the colonists.[2] Like the nearby worlds of Algol and Demeter Halloran V imported quantities of the giant fish native to the planet Buchlau.[37]
With the election of General Diana Chinn to the Tikonov Tetrarchy in 2307, the Tikonov Grand Union began an ambitious gamble against the Marlette Association, and a number of Marlette Association worlds were invaded and annexed in short order. Tikonov Grand Union forces commanded by Diana Chinn conquered Halloran V in early 2309.[3]
Succession Wars
In 3006 the Blackwind Lancers and Marion's Highlanders used Halloran V as a base to raid the Federated Suns. Wolf's Dragoons landed their Beta, Gamma, and Delta Regiments (supported by Zeta Battalion and the Seventh Kommando) on the world and five days later the CCAF units were driven off the planet.[38]
The Jihad
Halloran V was one of the worlds hit by the CCAF as a part of Operation THUNDERSTRIKE, the Capellan counteroffensive prompted by Duke George Hasek's Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE. The CCAF hit Halloran V on the 9th of August 3069. The Word of Blake turned the two-way battle for Halloran V into a three-way battle on the 13th of October when Blakist naval forces began to bombard Halloran V from orbit.[39] The Capellan forces consisted of the veteran Sixth Confederation Reserve Cavalry who initially faced no significant opposition, but the Federated Suns Armored Cavalry arrived several weeks later and forced the Sixth to fight a fast cavalry campaign on Chimera - exactly the kind of campaign the Armored Cavalry excelled at, up until the Blakist bombardment of Chimera, which all but destroyed both units as well as levelling the major cities on the continent.[2]
During the Jihad, Halloran V was raided on the 26th of March 3076 by scouts from the allied coalition formed by Devlin Stone.[40][41] Operating independently rather than as a part of Stone's coalition, Capellan Confederation forces were fighting to liberate Halloran V on the 27th of February 3077 when the system's fully-operational SDS network allegedly destroyed the Feng Huang-class CCS Franco Martell, one of the Confederation's few WarShips.[42] According to reports in the Capellan media, Halloran V had been liberated by the 27th of February and had rejoined the Confederation.[43]
An exclusive report by a news agency based on New Avalon in the Federated Suns carried an interview purporting to confirm the destruction of the Franco Martell. Broadcast on the 18th of March The interview featured Harry Chevalle, the Captain of an independent merchant vessel named Ponsatrain. The Ponsatrain had apparently been in transit to Halloran V when it observed a swathe of new orbital satellites and orbital stations above the planet. The new facilities hadn't responded to the Ponsatrain, which observed the orders given by the planetary Traffic Control, but became active when the Franco Martell appeared in the system. The satellites moved slowly around the Franco Martell - implying that they may not have been satellites, as conventional satellites are not recognized as moving on an interplanetary scale, however slowly - and then upwards of twenty of the satellites launched missiles at the Capellan WarShip. The missiles - described as "ship killer missiles" by Chevalle - inflicted considerable damage on the Franco Martell by dint of numbers, rather than individual striking power, and when the Franco Martell moved into a drop position over the planet's surface it was struck by additional missiles from the surface, which allegedly destroyed the ship.[44]
The Word of Blake forces on Halloran V were reinforced on the 3rd of April by the arrival of the 48th Shadow Division, allowing the Blakists to recapture the planet.[42]

Geography
Halloran V has three continents and two archipelagoes and is a generally bleak and barren arctic world. A relatively young planet, Halloran V is still geologically active and has been in the grip of an ice age since its first human habitation. As late as the thirty-second century ice sheets covered thirty-five percent of both the northern and southern hemispheres despite the export of ice being one of the two largest industries on the planet.[2]
Of the various landmasses on Halloran V the largest is the continent of Chimera, which is also the most temperate of the various continents thanks to its equatorial location. In the northern hemisphere lies the continent of Newfoundland, while the continent of Sunderland lies in the southern hemisphere, and both are barren, frozen lands. The two archipelagoes on the planet are named Tonka Li and Tonka Lu, and both remain notably geologically active with numerous active volcanoes on both.[2]
